"Why I construct sculptures is somewhat of a mystery to me. I suspect, in some ways, it is a continuation of childhood play, where invention, improvisation and often a sense of mischief, are a key. The simple abstract shapes that I choose to work with give me the greatest freedom to manipulate and discover new forms without being bound by specific representational imagery.The opposing qualities of form are what engage me most. Balance vs. precariousness, stability vs. movement, and the organic vs. the inorganic. I play with these elements until another dimension appears and until the form is pleasing to me. I'm partial to the double take, the paradox, but only if the work's formal qualities can sustain interest and delight over a long period of time."RESUME Born: 1933, Queensland, AustraliaDeath: 2018, Ancramdale, NY Education:Sydney University, AustraliaSydney Art SchoolSt. Martin's School of Art, LondonExhibited:Ben Uri Gallery, Melbourne, Australia , 1963NYC Revolving Sculpture Project, Brooklyn Courthouse, 1973Prince Street Gallery, New York City, 1979Gallery at Hastings on Hudson, 1987, 1989Warburton Gallery, Hastings on Hudson NYAhava Gallery, Boca Raton, FL 1994-1997Kirkestraad 58, Antwerp, Belgium , 1994Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NY, 1998, 2016, 2018, 2020Sculpture in the Park Project, Hartsdale, NY, 1999Contemporary Sculpture at Chesterwood, Stockbridge, MA,1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006Haddad Lascano Gallery, Gt.
